Welcome to this week's teaching children about money post. This week it's all about profit and loss which probably sounds a bit complex and a little unnecessary for children to know about but actually it's really relevant to them and we had fun learning all about profit and loss together.My aim at the end of these exercises was to help them understand the basic idea that a business needs to sell something (either a service or good) and make a profit in order to stay in business. If a business doesn't make a profit then it's unlikely to be able to pay it's bills and may have to … [Read more...]
25 things to do as a couple this year….
Mr Frugal and I have always had date nights and electronic free nights but we haven't been spending as much quality time together as we usually do lately. Not for any particular reason although I think the fact that one or both of us has been ill almost continuously for the last couple of months together with the usual lack of money to do much at this time of year hasn't helped.

Teaching Children about Money – Pocketmoney….
Probably the most obvious way to teach children about the value of money is to give your child regular pocket money and encourage them to save up for things they want to buy and to budget their money so they don't run out before their next 'payday'.I know from talking about pocket money on here previously that there isn't a one answer suits all solution to how much or what age so I'm going to tell you what I do and I've also asked some of my blogging friends to share their thoughts too so hopefully you'll read something that you think will work your family.At the moment we give Miss … [Read more...]
